OK so just a funny observation but... Why is it that Southern provinces of nations (from America to India to Russia to Thailand) always seem to be the centers of religion? I really have nothing to add other than the fact that I see it ALL THE TIME kinda cool and hard to justify all at the same time!

I think in addition to being South the area where religions or more appropriately metaphysics flourished the area of settlement happened to be "plains" and not rocky hillock types. This provided for agriculture (and in plains like India - crops twice in a year) and this freed the mind to ponder on things other than just next meals or saving oneself from wild beasts.

Excepting for the fact that India is capable of growing crops twice in year and feed itself, it would be impossible to sustain the population of India within its geographical area and Indians would have migrated to other areas 1000s of years back.
